Contributory negligence or fault occurs if the damage to the victim is not only caused by the damage-causing act or event, but also by the negligent or wrongful behavior of the victim himself. An example would be if the owner of an expensive vase places it in a position from which it can very easily fall. Then, arguably, the person who inadvertently hit the vase and made it fall, does not have to pay full compensation, because the damage is also the fault of the owner.
